Image
A rational nature admits of nothing but what is serviceable to the rest of mankind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Men exist for the sake of one another.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It's normal to feel pain in your hands and feet, if you're using your feet as feet and your hands as hands. And for a human being to feel stress is normal - if he's living a normal life. And if it's normal, how can it be bad?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Each thing is of like form from everlasting and comes round again in its cycle...
Marcus Aurelius
Image
People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
We are born for cooperation
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the morning when thou risest unwillingly, let this thought be present - I am rising to the work of a human being. Why then am I dissatisfied if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for which I was brought into the world?
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it.... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Withdraw to the untroubled quietude deep within the soul, and refresh yourself.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
How powerful is man! He is able to do all that God wishes him to do. He is able to accept all that God sends upon him.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Where a man can live, he can also live well.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Truth and ceremony are two things.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Dig within. There lies the wellspring of good.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To a rational being it is the same thing to act according to nature and according to reason.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
In the case of all things which have a certain constitution, whatever harm may happen to any of them, that which is affected becomes consequently worse but in like case, a man becomes both better... and more worthy of praise, by making the right use of these accidents.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Give full attention and devotion to each act.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
To live happily is an inward power of the soul.
Marcus Aurelius
